But thei were all of them deceivid for anothir environment-killinge plagiarism machyne was made

From today's coaching session, I found this a tough one. White to play! #chesspunks

Hey #chesspunkz. If you've been doing well in rapid, but struggling like all hell in blitz: How did you conquer that, what did you do, what clicked, and so on?

What's up with @chessable.com doing what it can to avoid getting new customers #chesspunks

In my Steps Method series I recorded a third video on how to analyze a position. It is a position from Step 3+ and the video is for players rated 1000-1500. Just one position to practice the process: - Orientation - Calculation and Evaluation - Verification youtu.be/bCbcPnMPC8w

So Carlsen is is back 🥴💫 #chesspunks www.nrk.no/sport/bekref...

"Treevis" is an interesting free web app for graphically presenting, navigating, and editing a PGN file. A diverting lagniappe if nothing else! → www.treevis.org || #chess #chesspunks

Congratulations to Volodar Murzin for becoming the rapid World chess Champion! #chess #chesspunks

If you are tired of the jeansgate drama, you can have a look at my podcast episode with @kamrynheidi.bsky.social She is a role model for adult improvers. Thank you for coming and sharing your chess tips, Kamyrn! #chesspunks #chess Video below.

Of course, the year I watch chess during Christmas is the year Magnus Carlsen breaks with FIDE 🤣🤣

Moving next to my sister means I finally have company for Christmas #chess 🤩

Chessly 2 is upon us! What does #chesspunks think?

I think I need a chess rest. Anyone else felt this after a peak? playing but blundering, struggling to find focus and the same drive to press next game, and not really wanting to study #chesspunks

Keep excluding the Russian #Chess Federation www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4bJ...

Hot take: @chessable.com has become a stale money printer post @chess.com acq and has parked innovation and development for an onslaught of expensive video course of questionable actual value in terms of chess improvement. I used to play legacy MtG and that was cheaper to keep up with. #chesspunks

Anyone bought a computer telling yourself you need beef to do ML and play video games, but you know deep down it's for Leela Zero? #chesspunks #pathofexile2

First the French, now the London. They're obviously checking my notes 🤣 #chesspunks

Last week on Chess Journeys, I had an interesting chat with Tripp. He went from 1150 to 1600 in a few short years. He had a lot of useful improvement advice. #chesspunks open.spotify.com/episode/0EQ6...

My new #chess hobby is writing Chessbase bug reports

This sort of "eval bar", with probabilities adjusted for player ELO and so on. How do I set that up for my own analysis? #chesspunks live.lczero.org

It's a good day for the French! 🥖

I reckon if I can't play QGD Tartakower middlegames as black, I probably can't really play middlegames. #chesspunks

Getting anything on the @chessable.bsky.social BF sale(s)? #chesspunks

The new podcast episode just dropped with Aiden Rayner. We talked about visualization, conceptualization, working memory, intuition, blunders, and adult improvement. In the end, he tested us on a blindfold exercise too! #chesspunks www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P6g...

Sure, I get Chessbase 18, but am I the only one who does not at all understand Chessbase's other product offerings? I don't understand what they are, what they do, what they're supposed to do for me or how. #chesspunks

Naysayers: "The Grünfeld is too hard, you have to remember all this theory, play the Slav or QGD *chicken noises* 🐥 *g'bawk*" The average Grünfeld enjoyer: www.chess.com/analysis/gam...

I'm 36, I need this M. C. Johnson guy's notes 😅

My first International Master (IM) norm! 😍 European Individual Chess Championship 2024 ♟️ #chess #chesspunks 🦁🔥

About three months ago I was beginning to suspect 13XX was effectively my ceiling. Now out of nowhere: 1600!! 🥳🍾🎉 #chesspunks www.chess.com/analysis/gam...

Some days you lose games like this and there's just nothing you can do about it but laugh 😆 #chesspunks www.chess.com/game/live/12...

Gife test #chesspunks

White: Qc2, Kc6, pawns c5; Black: Qg1, Ka7, pawns a4, b5, g2. Without a board mate in 3. This one tripped me up for silly reasons 😅 From Cognitive Chess, well worth picking up.
